Plugin Open BIM - Revit

• Sorting IFC links in the "Open BIM Collaboration" panel
  A new tool that sorts previously imported IFC links in the "Open BIM Collaboration" panel has been implemented.

• Selecting several IFCs from the same contribution
  When linking a BIMserver.center project to Revit, if the contribution to be imported contains two or more IFC files, users can specifically select the IFC files to be imported, without the need to load all of them.

• "Link to Open BIM project" option is available
  
  In version 2025.b of the Open BIM - Revit Plugin, when generating a new model in Revit to link a contribution from BIMserver.centre, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool was not available until the job was saved for the first time and the Plugin obtained a path.

• In version 2025.c, when a new Revit model is created, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool is available from the beginning.
  
  If this tool is used without recording the job, a warning like the one in the image will appear.
  
  

• "Link Open BIM project" option
  When creating a new Revit model in version 2025.c, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool also appears in the "Open BIM Collaboration" side menu.
  

In previous versions of the Open BIM - Revit Plugin, the structural element "Stairs" was converted to Revit native entities by a "model group" consisting of "Floors", "Sloping floors" and "Walls".

In version 2025.c, the 100% native generation of the "Stairs" element has been implemented.

Just like in previous versions of the Plugin, as can be seen in the family assignment panel, both the family of the spans of the staircase and the family of the landings and walls must be entered. The type of staircase must also be selected. If the specific families are not available, users can ‘create a duplicate’ to create a family identical to the geometry imported from the structural design program.

In version 2025.a, the "Generation of native Revit elements based on a structural IFC" module was implemented in the Open BIM - Revit Plugin. This module allows the Open BIM - Revit Plugin to convert structural models to native Revit entities, making it easier to integrate them into the Revit environment.

Now, in version 2025.c, the "Generation of native Revit elements based on a structural IFC" module extends its features with the Generation of reinforcement rebars to native Revit entities tool. This tool converts reinforcement models (included in a project on the BIMserver.center platform) to native Revit entities.

Converting reinforcement to native Revit elements using the new tool requires prior conversion of the host structural elements, such as beams, columns, floor slabs, footings or any other structural element containing reinforcement.

• Main section
  In the main section, the categories to be converted to native entities are shown. In this case, as it is a reinforcement IFC, only the category "Structural reinforcement" will be shown. In the same way, the IFC class and the number of existing specimens in the IFC are shown.

• Quantities/amounts information panel
  Information on steel quantities is presented here. This information is classified by steel type, bar diameter and mandrel diameter. At the bottom of the table, there is also a summary of the total weight of steel expressed in Kilograms.

• Converter examples
  In the bottom-left panel, the hierarchy of the converter examples is shown. This hierarchy is set in descending order:
  
  
  
  
  • General reinforcement (covering the whole model).
    
    
  • Floors or levels in the model (foundations, ground floor and following floors).
    
    
  • Categories of Revit structural elements belonging to each level (structural framing, structural columns, etc.).
    
    
  • Single structural element.
    
    
  • Reinforcement assemblies (sets or groups of bars forming the total reinforcement of a structural element).
    
    
    
    
• In the bottom-right panel, the information concerning each bar in each assembly is shown.
